Nargis Fakhri was born in Queens, New York on October 20, 1979 to a Czech mother and a Pakistani father. At the age of 25 Fakhri appeared on America’s Top Models and in 2009 posed for the Kingfisher Swimsuit Calendar. That’s how she got spotted and cast in Rockstar opposite Ranbir Kapoor.

But on her delightful birthday, let’s keep the Rockstar talk aside ‘coz we all know where that one leads to. Instead, hear this – Ms Fakhri has devoted her 33rd birthday to a noble cause by joining hands with an NGO to try and generate money for the education of the girl child. Whoa! And how does she plan to do it? ”I want to help raise fund for the education of five girls. Instead of sending me presents, people can donate towards my endeavour,” the birthday girl said and also confessed, “I have never felt more blessed.”

What’s more, fans who are curious to learn more about Nargis Fakhri’s noble cause can tune in to her social networking site where the lady has provided all the details regarding her initiative.

Must say, you’re one helluva birthday girl Nargis. Kudos, and wish you a very happy and uplifting birthday!
